This is interesting, I'll fool with this. I don't know why the pre-calibration power setting would affect the automatic calibration, because the power is set by the calibration routine to 5 or 50 watts or 1 milliwatt (on each band) before any transmission.

I've noticed an error can occur if the K3 is set to lowish power when you start the calibration run. I had power set to 5.6 Watts and the 5 Watt cal routine failed. Setting the power to 35 Watts allowed it all to run correctly. Apologies if this has already been noted. 73 and all the best for 2009 Dave, G4AON K3 #80 f/w 2.76 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
